Don used to be my bus driver for many years, always keeping me on the up and up.

I am so sorry to hear about Don´s passing. I have very fond memories of him growing up. He would always come to dad´s shop for this or that or to even visit with dad. I also remember when I was younger delivering the new paper to him and having small chats everyday! My thoughts and prayers are with the family!
